Trying to figure out how to activate the heroic public quests without a guide is pretty fun. There's some that are obvious and then some I still have no clue what to do. Just gonna keep trying.

What are the supply caches that are required for the challenges?

She has become legend in the bathroom right outside the vanguard bar

They random chests that contain one (1) planetary coin.

The only caveat is sometimes the bounties call for a specific enemy type and the planets have different types for each enemy on them, so you need to open the right type sometimes. It's pretty obvious looking at them whether it's cabal or vex or fallen or whatever.

This helmet made me switch from Hunger to Chaos for the sicknasty Nova change.

The old siphon abilities are already kind of folded into the Devour tree, so instead they made the Skull a brand-new Obsidian Mind, while still maintaining the damage mitigation during your super.

Are most of the goons rolling PS4 or will there be a decent sized PC goon population? Also should I give a gently caress whatsoever about getting a ps4 pro or will the regular PS4 be fine for this?

Yeah, rando exotic Shotgun. I think it does less damage than a shotgun should but it shoves them pretty far and replaces your melee button.

Since the original Big Dum Space Mans (PS4/PC) AND the overflow clan are full, we decided to make a SECOND overflow clan for PS4 and PC that's even bigger, dumber, and kinkier.

And then we made a THIRD overflow clan because you are all insane beautiful people.

The new overflow clan is the Big, Dumb Space Men and we are open to all who want to join. You can even invite your friends.

As always, we reiterate that even though we have four KINK clans that we form up in the the Discord channel and we ask that you try to ping us there when you submit applications, especially for non-goon friends. Just because there's FOUR separate kinky clans doesn't mean we all can't play together.

We'd like this Discord to be THE place for PS4 matchmaking and fireteam making.

To reiterate this is one drat awesome looking sticky muffin. You might say it is big and delicious too.



You also haven't lived until you have had a kinky breakfast in the back seat of a car in a Wegmans parking lot.

Furthermore, Kay Is a Noob Killa.

I'm sorry to say MiDA is p bad in PvP, but at least it still owns bones in PvE (it might be better than before)

It's an 8 round mag fusion rifle that decreases charge time of the next volley if the previous volley did damage but did not get a kill (aka a boss). By the 4rd shot its Plan C instant. It is ridiculously fun.

Lol yeah I'd imagine against a boss you're just unloading bolts with no delay by the end


(It's pretty funny how they have finally realized that exotics with "spin up time" solve the pvp/pve power issue so they can be mad fun in PvE without ruining pvp. Pretty much every insane exotic has a perk that doesn't kick in until past a "normal" ttk scenario)

The guy reviewing the game for IGN dropped his in progress score from 8.7 to 8.2 - why? Because his beef is that in the launch week there's just not enough to do at endgame. Please note, based on what he's saying he's creeping up toward like 300 light. It also sounds like he just figured out that grinding public events was the most "efficient" way to get light and then just did it until his eyes bled.

This was my beef with how people acted about Destiny 1 - I legitimately don't understand what they expect from the game. It's like they hate it because they dreamed it would make them literal space wizards and then they find out it's a video game and it crushes their world view.

They drop exotic engrams pretty frequently in my experience.

Like it's pretty clear that the intention is that you don't just play non-stop 24/7. The endgame is built around a weekly cadence, just like WoW is. Do your weekly milestones and you'll get a steady progression of end-game quality gear. If you want to play in between, you can run strikes, pvp, or do world poo poo but it's not going to be huge gains in light like your weekly poo poo is.

It's not rocket science, it's kind of baffling that people seem to be having a hard time figuring it out.

I don't think the drop rate is too high. I'm 270 and yet to get an exotic from a public event. Of the 3 exotic engrams I've gotten one was the freebie, one from an adventure, and the other from a lost sector.
